Hello.I agree with your doctor about diagnose of allergic disease.
Symptoms allergic disease are rash,cough(by allergic bronchitis),itchy eyes and nose,sneeze.Besides treating allergy(antihistamine and even corticosteroids by
mouth)your doctor must request allergy tests to know that cause the allergy.
(for example in spring main cause is pollen of different plants)
I wish you good health.
